Gemstone

Story

Wrapped in sinuous luxury, we have opposing gemstones of sapphires and diamonds set in the heads of two countering snakes. One is an old mine cut diamond of approximately .20 carats with eyes of two deep blue sapphires. Its counterpart sports a round, faceted sapphire of about 4 mm in diameter whose eyes hold two mine cut diamonds. Warm, buttery yellow gold of 18k plays the host for the duet.
